Pinpoint Test N: Both Fog Lamps Are Inoperative
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 86, Fog Lamps for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
The Battery Junction Box (BJB) provides voltage to the fog lamp relay. When the fog lamp switch is engaged, a voltage signal is routed to the SJB. The fog lamp relay coil ground is controlled by the SJB. When the fog lamp relay is energized, voltage is routed to the fog lamps.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Fog lamp relay
- Headlamp switch
- SJB
PINPOINT TEST N: THE FOG LAMPS ARE INOPERATIVE
NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.

REPAIR circuit CLF29 (BN) for a short to voltage. After the repair:
If no DTCs are present, TEST the system for normal operation.
If DTC B106E is present, CLEAR the DTCs and REPEAT the self-test (required to enable the low beam output driver if DTC B106E is present). TEST the system for normal operation.
If DTC B106F is present, INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to Multifunction Electronic Modules Service and Repair. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
GO to N12.
-------------------------------------------------
N4 CHECK THE FOG LAMP RELAY (DTC B2030)
- Disconnect: Fog Lamp Relay.

Yes
GO to N5.
No
INSTALL a new fog lamp relay. TEST the system for normal operation.
-------------------------------------------------
N5 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE FOG LAMP RELAY COIL
- For vehicles equipped with a 2.3L engine, measure the voltage between the fog lamp relay pin 1, circuit SBB31 (WH/RD), BJB face side and ground.
- For vehicles equipped with a 4.0L engine, measure the voltage between the fog lamp relay pin 1, circuit SBB31 (WH/RD), BJB face side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
Yes
GO to N6.
No
VERIFY the BJB fuse 31 (15A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR circuit SBB31 (WH/RD) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation. If not OK, REFER to the Wiring Diagrams to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. Diagrams By Number
-------------------------------------------------
N6 CHECK THE FOG LAMP RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Connect: Fog Lamp Relay.
- Disconnect: SJB C2280c.
- Measure the voltage between the SJB C2280c-21, circuit CLF29 (BN), harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
Yes
GO to N12.
No
REPAIR circuit CLF29 (BN) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
-------------------------------------------------
N7 CHECK THE FOG LAMP RELAY (NO DTC)
- Disconnect: Fog Lamp Relay.
- Carry out the fog lamp relay component test.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams for component testing. Diagrams By Number
- Is the fog lamp relay OK?
Yes
GO to N8.
No
INSTALL a new fog lamp relay. TEST the system for normal operation.
-------------------------------------------------
N8 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE FOG LAMP RELAY
- For vehicles equipped with a 2.3L engine, measure the voltage between the fog lamp relay pin 3, circuit SBB31 (WH/RD), BJB face side and ground.
- For vehicles equipped with a 4.0L engine, measure the voltage between the fog lamp relay pin 3, circuit SBB31 (WH/RD), BJB face side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
Yes
GO to N9.
No
REPAIR circuit SBB31 (WH/RD) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
-------------------------------------------------
N9 BYPASS THE FOG LAMP RELAY
- For vehicles equipped with a 2.3L engine, connect a fused jumper wire between the fog lamp relay pin 3, circuit SBB31 (WH/RD), BJB face side and the fog lamp relay pin 5, circuit CLF12 (BN/YE), BJB face side.
